The Mega Mini Spy Camera Ultra: For Covert Ops
Have you ever found yourself deep behind enemy lines, hidden by the capricious shadows as you carefully listen in on an enemy planning brief? Of course you have, we've all been there. And we all know how down-and-out annoying it is to be without a camera or audio recorder when the psychopaths you've been tailing admit to their nefarious deeds. Thanks to BrickHouse Security, you need never be in this position again.
Their Mega Mini Spy Camera Ultra is small enough to fit inside a clenched fist, but capable of taking 640 x 480 30 FPS video. It can accept 16 GB micro SD cards, and comes with two rechargeable batteries. BrickHouse brags that their gadget can fit up to 250 hours of video onto one 16 GB card, which gives you plenty of time to get in and out of that tiny despotic nation with the secret intel you need.

Toshiba Mini NB205-N330 Windows 7 Netbook Review
All the major netbook makers unveiled Windows 7 netbooks back in October. One of the more popular is the Toshiba Mini NB205.
Liliputing has tested the Toshiba Mini NB205-N330 and published this review.
Quote from the review: "The Toshiba Mini NB205-N330 is an interesting machine. It has an excellent, if somewhat quirky keyboard and the best touchpad I’ve used that doesn’t support multitouch gestures.

Dell Mini 3i: Now US Ready?
Here's an interesting bit of news for you Android fans hoping to do your smartphone browsing on a Dell-made gadget. The Dell Mini 3i, confirmed as bound for the US, has just shown up on Brazilian website Celular Cafe (via Electronista). Apparently, this new version of the 3i sports 3G UMTS/HSDPA support on 1850 MHz, 1950 MHz, and 2100 MHz bands.
Why is this important? Because this is the first version of the 3i we've seen that will be compatible with US 3G. The 850 MHz component is pretty clear evidence that a version of the 3i is headed for the US in short order. Y'know, if the word of Michael Dell himself wasn't enough proof of that already.

Sprint Launches The Dell Mini 10 Netbook
Alright, so the rumors were a day off. The Dell Mini 10 still launched today on Sprint's 3G network. Their press release makes this bog standard 10.1” Windows XP netbook sound much more exciting than it really is. The Mini 10 features an Atom Z520 processor, 160 GB HD, WiFi and 1.3 MP camera. That's about as 'run of the mill' as a netbook gets.

Sprint Offering Dell Mini 10, November 1st?
Next month, Sprint will join the ranks of carriers that offer subsidized netbooks with a data plan subscription. TechVI.com reports (via Electronista) that the Dell mini 10 will be coming to the Sprint network on November 1st. The netbook will have a 3G modem, a 160 GB HD, 1 GB of RAM, and an Atom processor. The cost puts this mini 10 in line with a smartphone purchase; $199, after a $100 rebate.
You'll have to purchase the netbook with a subscription, of course. The plan for the mini 10 is set to cost $60/month for 5 GB of data. On the whole this deal sounds, well, perfectly inoffensive. The price is reasonable (though the rebate is annoying) and the mini 10 is a fine, if rather low-end, machine.

PhotoTrackr Mini Geotags Photos

This isn't the first geo tagging solution from the company and the latest version of the PhotoTrakr is smaller than the original. The new version of the device is compatible with RAW format photos on Mac computers thanks to new software. Read more

HP Mini 110 Windows 7 Netbook Leads Bestseller Charts
Windows 7 netbooks have been on sale since Thursday when Microsoft officially launched Windows 7. Amazon has one of the broadest selections of netbooks on sale. My initial tip that the Asus Eee PC 1005HA with Windows 7 Starter would be the bestselling Windows 7 netbook was wrong. The new HP Mini 110 is currently #1 followed by three Asus Eee PC 1005HA netbooks (two XP and one running Win7).
Features of the HP Mini 110 include 1.6Ghz N270 Atom CPU, 1GB RAM, 10.1" LED Anti-glare display, 160GB HDD, 802.11g Wifi, 92% of full-size keyboard, 6-cell battery and Windows 7 Starter.

Apple Announces Mac Mini
Buried deep within the Apple press release today was information about Apple's new Mac mini. Like the rest of Apple's Mac line, the mini received a substantial boost. The entry-level mini now costs just $599, practically nothing compared to standard Mac prices, and packs a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, plus 2 GB of DDR3 1066 MHz RAM. The mini also saw its storage space increased. It's got a 160 GB HD, plus 5 USB 2.0 ports, FireWire 800, an Nvidia GeForce 9400M integrated graphics card, and a SuperDrive.
If you've got an extra two hundred to spend, the $799 Mac mini is even better. It has a 2.53 GHz dual core processor, 4 GB of RAM, and a 320 GB HD. There's also a $999 mini, that's built around Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server. This machine features 2 500 GB HDs.

Michael Dell Confirms Mini 3i U.S. Bound
Despite the fact that it uses sub-par hardware and is made mostly of plastic, there's a lot of excitement around the Dell Mini 3i Android smartphone. Rumors abound of a possible, near-future revamp of the smartphone, followed by a U.S. release. Now we have the best confirmation possible of that rumor. Michael Dell, the company's founder and CEO, has stated flat-out in an interview that the 3i will be making its way to our shores.
Dell confirmed the rumor in an interview with TechPulse (via Android and Me). The 3i that is set to launch here will probably be very different in specs than the Chinese model. Expected changes include a boost to the camera from 3 MP to 5. TechPulse believes that we're due for an early 2010 launch, although exact dates are not available.

Dell Android Mini 3i U.S. Bound?
Remember a few months back, when Dell released their Android 3i smartphone in China? I think many of us feared the ultra-thin smartphone would never reach beyond those borders. According to TechCrunch, we were wrong. They have heard rumors that Dell plans to bring the 3i to the U.S. within the "next few months" in order to compete with the new bevy of Android releases.
As it currently stands, the 3i is not ready for U.S. sale. TechCrunch's source states that he believes it will be upgraded in both form and function before it comes to our shores. The Chinese version has a 3 megapixel camera, ours will have a 5. The UI is designed to mimic the iPhone, and Dell has apparently decided to alter Android in such a way that some apps will not work with their phone.

Ardi Mini Tracker Keeps Track Of Your Gadgets And Helps Find It When Lost
Systems that track your gadgets or cell phone are around since a while. Ardi Technology Corporation from Taiwan sent us some information about their gadget trackers and pet trackers that feature actually some nice functionality.
The Ardi Mini Tracker 505 and Mini Tracker 506 actually show with a simple LED arrow in what direction you have to go to find your cell phone. This is quite helpful if you are in a hurry and the hint of the direction to search helps I think quite a bit.

iRiver NV Mini Bike Edition
Cyclists get lost too. That's why iRiver, traditionally a media player manufacturer, has released a bicycle edition of their navigation system. Slashgear reports that this revamp to the iRiver NV comes with a smaller size, no integrated DMB TV tuner, and a scaled-up touchscreen UI designed to accomodate gloved fingers.
The NV runs on Windows CE 5.0, and comes with an SDHC card slot and integrated speakers, plus a 3.5mm headphone jack. This system comes packed with an in-car mount, but you'll have to pay extra if you want to get a handlebar mount for your bicycle. The NV itself runs about $156 USD, which is a great price for a solid touchscreen navigation system.

B&W Unveils Zeppelin Mini
Back in 2007 I reviewed the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin iPod dock and it was a great product, but rather large. B&W has now announced a follow up to the product I reviewed called the Zeppelin Mini. The mini looks nothing like the original, but should sound good as well.
The mini has a new rotating docking arm that allows the iPod to be put into landscape mode for viewing album art. The device also offers USB connectivity, which lets you use digital output via USB from your iPod and stream music from your PC or Mac to the speaker dock as well. Read more

Yet more news from Nokia World 09. Now we have confirmation and information about the brand-new Nokia N97 "Mini", slimmed down version of the current Nokia flagship smartphone. On the whole, it looks like a very solid compromise between power, cost, and size.

The frame is 14.2" mm thin, and its battery supports up to 12 days of stand-by time and up to 28 hours of music playback.
